Done and gone!

I had posted a picture on FB of Sandy's hat and one of my high school friends said she wanted one too.  This morning I finished my latest hat out of the leftovers from Christmas hats and it is already on its way to Julie.

I was hoping to have defeated all the yarn I have in my bucket, but I still have enough left to make one more hat...Damn!  I am going to stick to my plan of spinning up the roving I have and knit that into the mix.  I think it will go pretty well.

Another hat, another show, and another great weekend!

Finished up a belated "holiday hat" for Donnie last week.  I hadn't originally slated one for him, but it seemed like he wanted one so I kicked one out in just a couple of days out of the leftover yarns from the holiday.  I think it looks pretty good (sorry about the poor picture quality).  I am now working (at a much slower pace) on another hat made out of leftovers!  I always feel like I have to conquer the yarn I have before buying more.  I am going to take a break from knitting after this one and drop-spin a bag of roving I have been packing around for quite a while.  

Over this past weekend, Sandy and I watched the Seahawks play (and win!).  It was as much fun if not more watching her get so excited during the game!  Then we went out to the Snoqualmie Casino to see Joe Satriani play guitar.  Man, can that guy play!  I was quite surprised to see all the "old folks" there though...and then I remembered that they were probably the same kids that saw him when I did some 15- or 20-years ago! Hmmm...well, at least I have all my hair still!  Ha!  

Happy New Year 2011!

 What a great new year!  2010 ended with a nice chill day.  I started knitting this hat Friday morning and finished it just now.  Knitted on and off all day yesterday in between picking up Sandy from her 1/2 day of work,going to meet Linda, Donnie, and Skylar for lunch, a mosey home and a nap, dinner and dessert, more napping I think, a walk up the hill to a good perch to watch the space needle fireworks, and a bunch of popsicles!  Really, I was murdering popsicles right and left!  Thanks to Lambs Pride, Lana Grossa, and Addi Turbo's  for the fun knitting, and my baby Sandy for some great down time!
